Mainstream Media is nothing but puppets for the right wing

Fraser Institute released its annual "Tax Freedom Day" report today, a publicity stunt that sees the right-wing think tank add-up every conceivable tax it can think of and present that as what "the average Canadian family" pays in taxes – even if it doesn't really show up on the "tax bill" of "the average Canadian family."

"What you make today you're making for yourself, as opposed to the $43,000 which is the calculated tax bill for an average Canadian household that earns just over $100,000. So that's your income taxes, retail sales taxes, sin taxes, health care taxes and fuel taxes, among other things."
